Current Beauty Favorites + 1 book!

Hey everyone! I just came back from my photography trip from Ipoh with nEbO+SIM students. The trip was awesome! I will be sharing some photographs over the next few days! :) In the meantime, I really want to share some of my current beauty favorites and a book which i have been enjoying:D

From the left: NYX soft matte lip cream, Clio kill brown eyeliner, Maquillage cream eyeshadow, Revlon photoready concealer, OPI Berlin been there done that
NYX Soft matte lip cream in San Paulo
I really dislike the sticky feeling on my lips when it comes to wearing lip products, hence i tend to stay away from lipgloss and lipsticks. Yet, matte lipsticks tend to be very drying on the lips and it will settle into the your lips which is super ugly after a couple of hours. This lip cream has a very unique formula and super pigmented on the lips. It does not feel drying on the lips and the colour wears quite well. This is very pretty raspberry colour and you can easily sheer it out for everyday wear. I really like the formula and texture of the lipstick. Hopefully i can find a peachy colour one!

I bought it for 12 bucks from the Smoochiezz Flea. :)

Clio Kill Brown Eyeliner (25 SGD at Watsons)
Hands down best eyeliner i have tried this year! The colour does not smudge  under my eyes and MOST eyeliners smudge under my eyes. I tend to go for japanese branded eyeliners as i think they do a better job at the smudge proof and waterproof department. When Clio was launched in SG, i was kind of skeptical as i do not have much luck with korean eye products. However, i was looking for a brown liquid liner and Clio just launched their new kill brown eyeliner. I decided to give it a go as my idol- Lee hyori endorsed it. Hurhur... much to my surprise, the liner stays incredibly well on the eyes and it is REALLY waterproof. I can go to the gym, workout and the eyeliner stays without smudging. But it comes of easily when i wash my face with a cleanser. Highly recommended! I really wanna try the marker black one which they are famous for!

Maquillage cream eyeshadow
Nuff said. Awesome cream eyeshadow! It is not drying like the MAC paint pots or the Maybelline Colour tattoos. It does not crease on the eyelid AND it's literally idiot proof! I usually just use the lighter colour on the 1st half of my eyelid and the darker colour on the 2nd half. It's perfect for everyday wear. The only bad thing is the price point. It's 40 bucks at major Shiseido counters which is super expensive in my opinion but well worth the price as i do use it everyday. Been eyeing at the other colours for awhile and I REALLY WANNA GET IT! :(

Revlon Photoready Concealer
I have been using this concealer for months. It lasts very long and not drying at all. I usually just dab it under my eyes and around my nose to conceal my dark circles and redness. Sometimes i wear it on its own without any foundation and it works really well on its own as well. It is a good multi purpose concealer if you're looking for a cheap concealer in the drugstore!:)

OPI Berlin there done that
Love love love this colour! The nudes are really in trend now, if you look at the recent DIOR naill collection for example. This is a taupe nude which looks very flattering on the nails, especially for my fair skin. It does not look muddy at all and I have been wearing it for several weeks now. Usually i don't repeat colours but for this colour, i painted my nails and proceeded to paint my toe nails as well. Well, cause i love the colour that much!:D


Last but not least, my favorite book at the moment! Ps. This is a VERY cheesy chick flick BUT I LIKE IT. :D The book is called Beautiful Disaster written by Jamie Macguire. 


Here's a short synopsis of the story extracted from goodreads.com
Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Recent beauty haul!

Hey everyone! Just wanna share some of the beauty stuff i recently bought and have been loving!:) They are actually bought over the past 2 months, usually during times when i'm super stress and in an urgent need of retail therapy. LOL I will be sharing my favorites of the month in couple of days so keep a lookout for that as well!:)

From the Left: Missha Signature BB cream, Dior nudeskin liquid foundation, OPI polishes
Stila convertible lip and cheek colour

Thoughts of the products: (Will be doing in depth review later)
Missha Signature BB Real Complete BB Cream
LOVE this BB Cream! Hands down my favorite of all the BB creams i have tried. This is my 2nd tube! It gives very good coverage, does not break me out and it wears really well throughout the day. IF you tried the Missha Perfect cover BB cream and broke out from that, you may want to try this. :) Same thing happened to me :( 

DIOR Nudeskin Liquid Foundation
I heard this is the new reformulated foundation which supposes give you a coverage close to your second skin. It gives a semi matte finish and the foundation feels quite light on the skin. I got this foundation during the Sephora Friends and Family sale at 20% which is such a good deal, considering how expensive this foundation is. So far so good!:)

OPI polishes in Skyfall, Berlin There Done That
Awesome colours from their new James Bond and Fall collection. I really like Berlin There Done That. Very pretty taupe nude. Been looking for a light taupe for long while and OPI finally came out with the colour! Been wearing it loads and i just painted my toe nails with that polish. :)

Stila Convertible Lip and Cheek Colour in Lillium
Whee~ My newest blush acquisition! This is a very pretty browny pink which applies really nicely on the cheeks. I have been wanting this for soooo long. i finally caved in and bought it to celebrate the ending of my exams last week! (LOL Excuses) It was decently on the cheeks, maybe SG weather is super hot so it melts off faster:( Anyws, still an awesome colour and PS. Alexa Chung's fave cheek product. Hehes.

Ps. Trying out the new photo filter software. Hmmms, fail? LOL

Fall trends are kidding and i'm loving the maroon/burgundy colour! LOVES. This is OPI Can you Tapas this? From the 2009 fall collection. Still one of my favourite nail colours!:D Applies well with only 2 coats. That's the thing i like about OPI nail polishes, apply well and dry fast!:)))
